Halloween Scenes Mason Jars with Candy Corn

Do you decorate for Halloween?  Here are 2 easy ideas for Fall or Halloween table decorations made from empty glass jars. Fill a Mason Jar with Candy Corn and decorate the outside with fall or Halloween imagery.

The jar on the right uses die cut shapes from Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies. I used the Wink of Stella clear glitter brush pen to add a little sparkle.  It was very subtle in real life but picked up some glare in this photograph.

The jar on the left is a large oval for the body and circles for the eyes.  The head is a square folded in half and tipped with the Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper for a beak.  A pair of fringe scissors works great on strips of paper to make the feathery tummy.

These projects were very easy to make and if you  have kids who like to craft its a great way to get them involved in holiday decorating.  The table below shows the product I used.

Pansy Punch Art Puppy Dog

Hello Handsome! Here's the perfect card to welcome a new puppy. 

Are you a fan of punch art?  This card uses only 2 punches - the Pansy Punch for the head, body and tail and the Owl Builder Punch for the small hearts used on the nose and tongue.

Did you notice there's 2 versions of this puppy? Here's the "recipe card" showing how to make them.

Using punches is a quick, way to make crisp paper images. And a fun thing to do if you stamp with children. For some reason kids love using punches.

Punch art is a fun way to get extra use from a tool you already have.  You've invested in the punches, right, so you might as well get some additional fun using them.  And speaking of getting extra use from a punch, check out this idea for making Halloween bats using a butterfly punch!  Or this super easy Hello Kitty Card. Click on any of the images to take you to the post about that card.

Gift Bag

What's your presentation when you give a gift?  do you wrap it in paper? or use a gift bag?  The reason I like gift bags is because they're re-usable. Today I'm sharing this gorgeous gift bag I got from my friend Deb Geier.

You can get plain colored bags in just about any store that sells gift wrapping.  Deb stamped on the bottom edge and then decorated the top with a cute Designer Paper banner backed by a doily and held on with a clip. 

Check out this close up of the Designer Paper.  See the shine? This paper is called Affectionately Yours and it has little bits of copper foil built right into the design. Its so pretty and really dresses up the bag.

Here's a few other gift bags from previous posts. Click on the picture to read about those projects
